Less of buffet more like Mickey D's Less of buffet more like Mickey D'sI am a professional photographer with some 20 plus years of experience. A good chunk of that was as a photojournalist. Let me say this off the bat, I am a Rick Sammon's fan. This app is meant for beginning photographers. The more advance you are the less useful it is. I did find some useful concepts to try on my future shoots. There is a saying that goes like "Jack of all trades, master of none". That is the most basic issue with this app. Simply put this covers a lot of topics but spreads itself too thin. It simply is not in-depth enough to be really useful. It gives the user a very superficial quick answer without enough practical examples. Two examples of this is when talking about soft light. One tip is given with a video but not enough of explanation of why to use soft light. The explanation of why to shoot manual is confusing, and to be blunt here is more about post processing than getting the right exposure. Lets talk about the videos for sec. They are very well done. They are informative and well produced, but there are to few of them and seem to recycled from other Rick Sammon's products. One the minor issue is this app is very, very Cannon brand specific. For those who shoot other Brands like Nikon and Sony may feel like they are being left in the cold. There are a couple of examples of this. When talking about ISO you can tell in general he is talking about Canon brand cameras. When showing mode dial for setting exposure it is Canon. When talking about Aperture Priority Mode they use the Canon abbreviation "AV" while the rest of the world uses "A". The same is true of Shutter Priority Mode, they use the Canon abbreviation "TV" while the rest of the world uses "S". Rick's product placement ads in this app is as subtle as a sledge hammer. Like when talking about reduce harsh flash lighting it really about promoting the Ray Flash. Another example of this "Portrait Art" using Topaz Filter. If the app was free or cheap this would not be as big an issue, but this app is $3.99. Finally lets talk about interface. It is clunky. This again seems because this app is covering to many topics. The tips section is a mess. If you do not watch the introduction video, learning the ropes of this app is painful. This app is really meant for the beginning Canon and for them it is useful. This app is over priced when compare it to other apps Like PhotoCalc which is $2.99 which has a better tip section, Depth of field calculator, sunrise and sunset table and glossary of photo terms. What you are paying for is Rick Sammon's Name.

Very nice and a good effort! Very nice and a good effort!You can't go wrong for the money. This app is full of helpful tips, text, movies, and just valuable information. Perhaps pro photographers wouldn't benefit that much, but for those of us who find photography a hobbie even a passion it is well worth the cost! Enjoy it!

Bought this when it first came out for $4.99 - they slashed the price - where's my refund? Bought this when it first came out for $4.99 - they slashed the price - where's my refund?Apple should have some sort of price protection plan for their app store. I've paid $ for apps like this one only to have them drop dramatically in price, or go completely free. I should get a refund for the difference, or offered the choice of some other of the company's apps/products. The app itself is very basic in its scope. Nice for the beginner DSLR or advanced compact camera owner.
